For sale is a rented 2-room condominium with 70.22 m² of living space on the 1st floor of an apartment building in Bochum-Wattenscheid. At 31 m², the living and dining area is unusually large for a two-room apartment. In addition, there is a bedroom of 16 m², a separate kitchen of 11 m², a hallway, and a bathroom with a window. The apartment has its own gas floor heating and a basement room. A parking space in the courtyard can be purchased in addition for €5,000.
Tenancy
The apartment has been rented to the same tenant since 1978. The net cold rent was adjusted to €359.00 as of 01.08.2026; the tenant’s consent has been given. You are therefore buying an apartment that generates rent from day one, with a tenant who has been paying reliably for almost 50 years.
Rent subsidy, simply explained
Because the rent has only just been adjusted and a further increase will only be possible in a few years, we as the seller will pay you a rent subsidy totaling €7,000 for the first three years. That is €194.44 per month in addition to the rent, for 36 months. Your income will therefore be €553.44 per month in the first three years, equivalent to a 6.71% return on the purchase price. From the fourth year onward, the regular rent continues (4.35% return, as of today). The subsidy is included in the purchase price and will be stipulated in the notarized purchase agreement.
Potential
At €5.11/m², the rent is well below the current asking level in Wattenscheid of around €8.27/m². If there is a change of tenant, the apartment can be re-let at market conditions. At the same time, at around €1,410/m² you are buying well below the average asking price in the district.
Taxes
An appraisal of the remaining useful life will be prepared for the apartment. We assume that this will allow a building depreciation allowance (AfA) of at least 4% per year instead of the usual 2% (Section 7 (4) sentence 2 of the German Income Tax Act (EStG)). Example: €79,200 building share × 4% = €3,168 depreciation per year. This is not tax advice; please coordinate with your tax advisor.
